Is a Sellier & Bellot 9mm, good for Helwan 9mm pistol?

I have once read a review about the helwan and it says it's better fed with a Wolf steel case and chokes often with any hollow point either winchester or bear.
anyway, is a sellier and Bellot Soft point is excellent with the Helwan? coz I'm planing to have 30% FMJ bullets (wolf steel) then have a 70% rounds of Soft point as Anti-personnel shots.

is it okay? or if it's not..I'm just after the sellier and bellot's brass which is cheap (tried to be rational on my pocket and reloading lot of bullets on which ammo you can get covering all the work and tools/components for reloading)
I might as well buy a lot of bulk ammos that are cheap.

so whad'ya think?

oh and it's for the preparing on the SHTF scenarios

H and Pourshot are right. Try a single box and see how it works.

And if the pistol won't feed anything but FMJ with reliability, it is in good company. A very well known dealer in fine antique weapons near me used a Colt Stainless Officers' ACP as his store gun. My Officers' ACP will feed anything from a 185 grain SWC Target load on up, and it is 100% reliable even with CCI's 200-gr JHP, which is notorious for jamming in many pistols. Mr. Scott's Officers' ACP chokes on anything other than 230 gr. Ball ammo.

If you Helwan is picky about what it feeds, you can take it to a gunsmith and have him polish the feed ramp to see if it improves reliability.

One more thing. Every firearm is a law unto itself. Just because the reviewer's pistol wouldn't feed anything but steel cased FMJ ammo does not mean that your pistol won't handle JHP's and/or SP's with the greatest of ease. The only way to find out is to buy a box of each bullet type and weight and see which one is more reliable and which is most accurate.
